Contributions to the Systematization of Eco-Socioeconomic Experiences: A Study in Associação Acolhida na Colônia Urubici

Abstract

The paper contributes to the systematization of eco-socioeconomic experiences, conducted through the Methodology of Incubation of Organizational/Territorial Demands, beyond its descriptive character, adding intersubjective dimensions. The study took place at the Associação de Agroturismo Acolhida na Colônia in Urubici/SC, and adopted the phenomenological immersion method, combining participant observation with in-depth interviews. Data analysis was based on phenomenological communication, supported by Atlas Ti 22® software. The phenomenological analysis identified three elements to contribute to the FQCD: (1) elements of the social, economic, and cultural history of the territory, which impact on the configuration and results of the experience; (2) collective benefits perceived by the subjects; (3) collective values. These elements contribute to the apprehension, description and understanding of intersubjective dimensions in the systematization of eco-socioeconomic experiences. The historical elements broaden the understanding of the configuration of the experience, and its results. The identification of perceived collective benefits and values contributes to understanding the process of meaning production, and thereby understanding how intersubjective relationships reveal aspects that are not directly apprehensible. Regarding the MIDO-T and the FQCD, the following recommendations are made: (1) that research methods that expand the researcher's involvement with the studied reality are privileged in the systematization; (2) inclusion of fields in the FQCD that allow collecting data referring to the elements presented above; (3) replace the name of the form with the Systematization of Ecosocioeconomic Experiences Form (FSEE), to explain its function and purpose, as well as broaden its approach.
